What's Your Obsession

Today I’m taking a look at the version of Jean Grey I’m most familiar with, the 90s suit, as recreated in statue form by Bowen Designs. Though I’d started reading X-Men before she wore this costume, this costume was prominant in many of the issues when I was absolutely hooked on the series. This costume [...]

I didn’t much enjoy the face at SDCC, so I’m glad to see Kotobukiya went back and improved it, it’s looking much nicer now and I can’t wait to see the official pics of Rogue here.

I kid, I kid. No doubt to be popular because the X-Force comic has been doing well for Marvel, here’s the Bowen Designs sneak peek of modern Wolverine. Kinda lollin’ at the lens flare though.

Bowen Designs is getting ready to premiere another Captain America bust, this time though, it’s a blast from the past. World War 2 styled. I have a feeling this one will look better with in-hand pictures.

I knew Hasbro couldn’t leave this as a SDCC exclusive, there was simply too much demand for the big G, Galactus. Hasbro is going to release two versions at $55 each, the dark version seen in Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and a more or less regular version. Both come with a 3 3/4″ Silver Surfer. Ultimate [...]

I can usually understand the complaints of parent groups to some degree (and the goal of this group is admirable) but this one seems downright bizarre. It’s hard to believe, but McDonald’s Happy Meal toys have hit a new low. The fast food giant’s latest giveaway for preschool boys features eight Marvel comic action figures. [...]

Here’s a really rough sneak peek of the upcoming Bowen Designs Jocasta statue. Not safe for work so it’s under a cut.
